After yesterdays post about being so frustrated with my son not pooping in the potty, I came up with the idea to make a poo poo chart for him. Every time he poops in the potty, he gets to put a sticker on the chart. And once he gets five stickers, he gets to go pick out a new train (Thomas & Friends) at the store. He didn't really care for the idea at first. But after a few hours, he was determined to try as hard as he could! He tried several times last night without success. However, he decided that he needed to try a few minutes after I had put him in his room for his nap today. So, I decided to let him try. Well, for the first time in I don't know how long, HE POOPED IN THE POTTY! I immediately scooped him up and gave him a BIG hug and told him how I was very proud of him and let him put his sticker on his chart. He then proceeded to get back on the potty to poop a little bit more and wanted another sticker...lol. And I gave it to him. What was I suppose to do? lol He did get on the potty twice and poop twice...
Now all he wants to do is sit and try to go poop. I had to tell him that there wasn't any more poop in there right now. That his belly had to have lots of time to be able to make more. So He went into his room and two minutes later, was back on the potty. He told me that his belly had made more and that he needed to poop. lol Needless to say, he wasn't able to and I put him back to bed. But at least he is wanting to try now. Before, there was absolutely NO desire to even think about it. It was a flat out NO!
I am so excited that this has worked so far! I just hope that it continues to help and that it turns into a habbit for him instead of always needing incentives. IT WORKED!!!
